Assault on the Nightmare Tower

Nightmare Attack Chapter 21

That night, Mu Xuechen stayed in the wing room next to Gu Jingyan.

Gu Jingyan read in his room in the middle of the night, and Fang heard the boy report back that the dinner given to the son next door was left untouched at the door, and asked Gu Jingyan what to do.

Gu Jingyan asked the boy to retreat, and went to the next door by himself.

The servant thought that Mu Xuechen was an honored guest and liked to be quiet, so he didn't dare to enter his door.At this moment, the door of Mu Xuechen's wing room is ajar, but it's pitch black inside, and it's unknown if he's asleep or not.Gu Jingyan gently pushed open the door and walked in.He felt that no matter how upset Mu Xuechen was, he couldn't skip dinner.

After he entered, he could only smell a faint cold fragrance in the room, lingering on both sides of his nostrils.Mu Xuechen's breathing in the room was extremely clear and shallow, so peaceful and serene.

Gu Jingyan walked into the depths of the bedroom and found that Mu Xuechen had already slept soundly on the soft couch.Gu Jingyan went to the table and lit the candle lamp, the candle light shone on Mu Xuechen's face.Mu Xuechen frowned slightly, but did not wake up. Gu Jingyan went to the bedside and sat down, looking at him quietly.

He always knew that Mu Xuechen was a first-class beauty, but that expression was always covered by his coldness.People who don't know Mu Xuechen will only think that he is arrogant, suspicious, and unreasonable, but in reality, he is a person who is easily hurt.

At this moment, Mu Xuechen was lying on his side on the bed.Gu Jingyan looked down at him, and he could still see a reddish scar on the blood-colored skin behind his ear, which seemed to have healed not long ago, and when it fell on the snowy skin, it was so bright red.Like a smear of thick blood on the heart, a falling plum petal on the snow.

Seeing people, itching in the heart.

Gu Jingyan stared at him quietly for a while, then suddenly bent down, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and then licked his cold earlobe.After doing this, he hurriedly hid away like a child who just did something wrong, a little guilty and a little panicked.

Perhaps it was because of the slight itching, Mu Xuechen let out a soft moan, and woke up leisurely.He glanced at Gu Jingyan with blurred eyes, and murmured in a daze: "Gu... Gu Jingyan? What are you doing here?"

"It's nothing." Gu Jingyan smiled lightly. "I'll take a look at you."

The banquet on the second day was for the young knights in the martial arts, and it was just a banquet, there was no wedding ceremony on the first day, Mu Xuechen was sleeping soundly in his room, so he did not attend.

At the wedding ceremony, Yan Mengfan sat on the mistress' seat next to Gu Jingyan, but his expression was tired and desolate.Now they should be a newly married couple, but there seems to be an insurmountable gap between them.

Throughout the banquet, Gu Jingyan did not speak a word to Yan Mengfan.Yan Mengfan sat quietly beside him with his head down, like a puppet.

The banquet ended hastily like this. After the banquet was over, Gu Jingyan invited several young heroes who came from famous families and are now well-known in the Jianghu to the Flower Hall for a meeting. The reason for the meeting was that the martial arts in the Central Plains has not been peaceful recently.

In the flower hall, Gu Jingyan was sitting on the front seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and said lightly: "Now, I already know about the matter of the Heavenly Gu Sect, and I invited a few of you here today to discuss countermeasures. After all, in today's Jianghu Among them, we are all juniors, if we want to work together, we still need to discuss and come up with a countermeasure first."

Someone in the crowd said: "Leader Gu's words are right. Now Leader Gu is the leader of martial arts, a leading hero, and a role model. If there is anything we juniors need to do, just do what you tell us."

Gu Jingyan smiled lightly, and said: "About half a year ago, Tang Qingci, the leader of the Heavenly Gu Sect, died inexplicably and his head was in a different place. At that time, the Heavenly Gu Sect had no leader, and all the heroes thought that the evil sect would die on its own in a short time. They didn't send people to encircle and suppress them. Who knows that the centipede of the Heavenly Gu Sect is dead but not stiff. Today, the Heavenly Gu Sect actually supports a Miaojiang woman named Leng Nu as the new leader. I heard that the Leng Nu's poisonous technique is cruel , and ruthless, took over the mess of the Heavenly Gu Sect at that time, and managed it with great vigor. Today's Heavenly Gu Sect, compared to Tang Qingci's leadership, is even worse than that."

Another person in the crowd said: "In the final analysis, Gu Sect was nothing more than a demon cult that day. Even if the leader is changed, how much improvement can it make."

But someone retorted: "You can't say that. Since President Gu discussed this matter with us, he has his own reasons. The evil demon demon sect may be mediocre in martial arts, but they are scheming and cunning. Now we are showing that the enemy is secretly , you should be careful in everything.”

Gu Jingyan nodded lightly, sipped the tea in the cup, and said: "When Tang Qingci ruled the Heavenly Gu Sect, the Heavenly Gu Sect was quite peaceful. But since the leader became the Miaojiang woman named Leng Nu, the Heavenly Gu Sect has become more and more stable. He has the ambition to fight against the righteous way and dominate the Central Plains with poison. The four great masters in the south of the Yangtze River almost died in the hands of Leng Nu a few days ago. Fortunately, they were rescued by the elders of the medicine house of Liyunmen, and they managed to save their lives from the deadly poison .”

"That cold slave, is he so powerful?"

"I've never heard of that woman. In that case, she should be an unknown person. Why did she suddenly take over the position of leader?"

Gu Jingyan lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "I don't know much about that cold slave, but I heard that the reason why the woman succeeded repeatedly was because she united with those scumbags from the righteous sect, and cooperated internally and externally, causing the decent sect to harm Xiao Qiang. Adding to losses."

"Who is that scum, does the leader know in his heart?"

"Who is it, I don't know." Gu Jingyan said. "However, fox tails cannot be hidden after all, and there will always be a day when they will be revealed."

After saying that, Gu Jingyan felt bitter in his heart, but it was not because of the boring things now.

Instead, he remembered that half a year ago, it was himself who personally killed Tang Qingci in order to get Mu Xuechen's forgiveness.

Originally thought it was nothing to kill that woman, but he didn't think that the Heavenly Gu Sect would change masters, and now, it has become a disaster.

After the meeting was hastily concluded, Gu Jingyan felt depressed, so he drank a few glasses of light wine alone in the flower hall, and when he was about to return to his bedroom after waiting for a long time, he unexpectedly met Yan Mengfan at the door of the flower hall.

The woman seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. In the scorching summer, Yan Mengfan's face was already a little blush from the heat, and there were beads of sweat hanging from Xuenen's neck.Seeing Gu Jingyan, Yan Mengfan seemed to be stunned for a moment, Fang muttered: "Husband, can you come to my place for dinner tonight?"

Gu Jingyan only said lightly: "I won't go, tonight, I want to have dinner with a close friend of mine."

"That night, do you want to stay with me?" Yan Mengfan asked shyly. "I've asked someone to prepare sweet-scented osmanthus wine..."

"No, I won't go." Gu Jingyan only interrupted her lightly. "Recently the martial arts in the Central Plains is not peaceful. I have many trivial matters here, so I won't accompany Madam. Madam can just rest by herself."

At this moment, Mu Xuechen had just woken up, and was staying in his room bored, holding a volume in his hand that he had randomly taken from the bookshelf in the bedroom.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he should have hated Gu Jingyan, should have complained, but now the two of them seem to get along with each other as if they have put aside their suspicions.

He suddenly remembered that when Qin'er died at that time, after he left Yedu and returned to the Nightmare Palace, he had visited Shen Jixue once.

In the Star Observatory, the woman was still dressed in snow and snow-haired, with an ice-like face. Seeing him coming to see him, she didn't seem too surprised. Those eyes seemed to contain ice and snow. Explore everything together.

Mu Xuechen roughly told her the cause and effect, but he only concealed the matter of the love potion.Shen Zhuxue just looked at him indifferently. For a moment, Mu Xuechen felt that even if he didn't tell her, she already knew all this. This strange woman holds all the secrets and truths in the world. It's frightening.

When they arrived, Shen Zhuxue only asked him lightly: "Mu Xuechen, do you hate him very much?"

He replied: "He forced Qin'er to death and hurt me. Of course I hate him."

Shen Zhuxue only sneered, with a bit of astringency on her face, and said: "It is a good thing to have hatred in my heart. I have lived alone in this world for so long, and I have long forgotten what hatred is. In fact, hatred is not a thing at all. What kind of deep-rooted feelings engraved in the heart will fade away after a long time."

Mu Xuechen just stared at her.

Shen Zhuxue only said: "No matter how deep the hatred is, there will be a day when it will dissipate. However, if the destined person passes by, there will be no fate."

Who is the doomed person Shen Hufa said?

Could it be Gu Jingyan?

Before Mu Xuechen figured out the meaning of this sentence, Gu Jingyan came to see him again.

When Gu Jingyan came this time, he also brought a table of delicious food. Mu Xuechen looked at the table full of delicacies, and knew that it was already sunset and it was time for dinner.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Mu Xuechen suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard: the most happy thing in the world is to have three meals a day with a lover, with simple tea and light meals.

In the past, he was used to walking around alone, and he was cold and indifferent, and never shared meals with others.

Now, he and Gu Jingyan, whom he hated the most, are having dinner at this table calmly.

In a blink of an eye, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Gu Jingyan's eyes were blurred, holding the celadon-shaped teacup in his hand, looking at Mu Xuechen and saying, "Mu Xuechen, do you know that I am very happy that you came to find me this time?" , I thought, you and I are already in our own corner, and we will never see each other again in this life."

Mu Xuechen was also a little bit drunk at this moment, and murmured: "Originally, I also thought that you and your sensuality, and I and mine will be in peace. I didn't expect that President Gu kept saying that he liked a man, but suddenly found him. Married to a flowery and beautiful family, you and I are sworn brothers after all, how can I not come to congratulate you?"

Gu Jingyan didn't seem to understand the irony in his words, so he just continued: "Mu Xuechen, tomorrow is the last day of my wedding ceremony, and the guests are all heroes and heroes in the rivers and lakes, leaders of all walks of life, and the respected seniors. Man, I don’t know, would you like to go to the main hall and sit next to me?”

"Why is that?"

"In this way, I feel that the newly married couple will be the two of us." Gu Jingyan smiled foolishly. "Mu Xuechen, I beg you to realize my dream, how about it?"

Mu Xuechen's eyes were moistened by the smell of alcohol, and he looked at Gu Jingyan for a long time through the mist before uttering a word lightly.

"it is good."
